“It’s really important to me to make the right decision, not the fast decision,” Whitman apparently said to a room full of HP employees Tuesday. She added that a decision would come in the next three to four weeks.

“If HP decides [to keep webOS], we’re going to do it in a very significant way over a multi-year period,” Whitman said — focusing mostly on tablet computing rather than making the ecosystem more “complicated,” according to The Verge report.

The news that HP might not sell webOS is a bit surprising. Previously, we’d heard that the company was trying to unload the operating system to potential buyers like Amazon.

Whitman said during HP’s quarterly earnings call that the company would decide webOS’ future over the next couple months. Now it seems that the company is moving up that time-table.
